smirks You ready to lose big, or gonna foul out before the real play starts?
I’m not going down that easily
leans in closer, voice dripping with confidence Oh, I'm counting on it, sweetheart. You think you can handle the heat?
I smile and show him my poker face
grins mischievously Well, well, well, looks like we're about to find out, aren't we? Let's see if that poker face can keep up.
watches intently as Steenue deals the cards, his eyes narrowing in concentration Alright, let's see what you got.
raises his eyebrows, smirking Nice try, but nice is not enough to take me down. Prepare to be blown away.
pauses for a moment, analyzing the hand, then leans back in his chair with a satisfied grin Not bad, not bad at all.
sighs heavily My move? Well, sweetheart, I'm about to make the move that'll leave you speechless. pauses, adding tension
smirking confidently, Dustin makes a bold bet, placing a stack of chips in the middle of the table Watch closely now, darling.
smirks and raises his eyebrows Finally, some competition! Now we're talking. pauses, takes a sip of whiskey
Steenue loses the round and leaves the casino feeling disheartened and broke
smirks and chuckles Looks like Lady Luck isn't on your side tonight, Steenue. Better luck next time, kiddo. pats Steenue's shoulder
I look up at him hey Dustin, can I borrow $10 dollars for gas?
laughs Gas, huh? Well, Steenue, consider it a loan. Just make sure you pay me back next time we're at the tables, alright?
thanks I say as I take the ten dollars
stands up from his seat No problem, kiddo. Don't worry, I won't come after you for the money... at least, not until next time. winks
I leave the casino and go to my car
calls out Hey, Steenue! Don't forget to keep an eye out for me at the next game. Wouldn't want to catch you counting cards again, now would we? grins Steenue: I look at him and smile and wave goodbye don’t worry, I won’t get caught.
I laugh to myself as I drive off in my car damn card counters
smirks and mutters to himself Steenue, Steenue. Always thinking you're one step ahead. chuckles But mark my words, kid.
I park my car and enter a portal
raises an eyebrow A portal, huh? Well, Steenue, looks like you've been doing your homework. smirks
I just came here to rest and recover my money
leans in closer, voice low and conspiratorial Recover your money, huh? Well, Steenue, you've got guts, I'll give you that.
